I don't think WMB is looking for conspiracy or even hidden meaning. He is such a student ofthe rules and esp. NFHS vs.ASA; that he notices and discusses apparent contradictions, especially when it adds wording or confusion.
It seems the answer is just "As far as the relieving any restrictions on the runner should the fielder deliberately kill the ball, that was probably left there as a preventive catch-all should there have been something which was missed". Let's try to take it out.
